Hive scum ain't that hard to play man
Finally getting settled into to support chemist ganger
Feels nice mang
I get parole officers all the time
Anyone try stub revolver with Desperado? The fanning hammer mark?
in fact I just got this party
I just wanna get the damn class to 30 man
I am sorry agri revolver is still ass
Hive Scum filtering out people who think it can tank damage will never not be funny though
WHY CAN'T I BE THIS LUCKY??
What's the FRIENDLIEST conversation they had?
I want to get this stupid 1000 heavy kills during stimm penance
The rule of cool matters
And if its half decent, but mostly rule of cool
Yeah it's definely a skill check class
What's the point of the medkit skill? It doesn't heal missing health and it only heals corruption if you have full health but just have corruption damage
It's not a medkit
Stim application
You give your team your stimm
unfortuantely this games playerbase is not very good.
Largely no
Yes, these classes have various options for their ability from stat buffs to powerful attacks to various utility. I’m just saying I wish Hive Scum had an ability that was utility. There’s abilities we have are stat buff for ranged, stat buff for melee and stat buffs of whatever stim you have.
Group stim is the biggest utility, I think you need to invest a lot to make it useful but I think it can be super useful
I’m simply staying loyal to Vet cause of the further range I have access too over Scum, however if I’m wanting a “let’s enable the team as much as possible” I play Chemist Hive Scum
Something along the lines of
Anarchist "Are you still alive over there tithe?"
Authoritarian "Don't worry, I am"
Anarchist "Are you sure? You should check yourself!"
Authoritarian "How often do you talk with corpses?"
reckon battering strikes is also the move for shivs?
If you want weapons with decent range just use infantry or vigilant autogun on scum
The review bombing began earlier today
But I had med stim and it didn't heal
i have a shiv build in the pins
I don’t think you can really play any of the trees without sticking entirely to one side, outside of maybe dependency on desperado and crit over ammo
I will insist Veteran does it far more efficiently
Doesn't work with med stims
Uuuggghhhh hive scum been kickin my ass im so used to having good toughness regen
What chemist build you running
Imagine if we could frendly fire other hive gang members
Water Cartel vs everyone
Especially with Vigils
How you get throwing knifes back? elite kill?
before you hit lvl20 anyway
Of course the Anarchist would be the type lol
arbites are the exception pretty much
The main theme of the game is showcasing the "lower end"
people getting mind at a HIVE CARTEL guy in a game that takes place in a HIVE CITY ruled by CARTELS is so fucking funny to me
Yes, or backstab kills
Can't. Conclave and all that
FUCK
Oh yeahhhh I am digging the anarchist
Cor
Lvl 8. What stim perks should I focus?
Fully dumping into Tox DOT and Ability CD and Toughness Stim effects
Be grateful. Tread Lightlies are the best ones!
I made my scum be a tavern keeper and he's fitting the role the best
Maybe outlaw also does
Ngl, I'm warming up to the Bounty Hunter. True mercenary attitude, and he might actually like the professional
But come on anarchist is coocoo
There is a voiceline between outlaw and anarchist where anarchist is like "You look like you don't wanna be here" and outlaw hits bro with "BECAUSE I DON'T"
I love Anarchist
I feel like I would like bounty more if it didn’t remind me so much of veteran voice wise
I find it funny how the rocket launcher gets voicelines similar to that of an ability
Crazy gunman who also abuses not just drugs but amasec too
Mine is essentially a carny swindler.
outlaw is peak
Another carnival resident? High five
The more I listen to Dreg Rager Outlaw the more I wonder why he even joined the conclave
he's just a looney tunes character
anyway this class is easy to play, leveling it is just absolute hell
No better options were available
I'm just happy our Scums do love the Ogryns, then again who doesn't?
But again
The Guard:
Honestly yeah, outlaw is the least criminal sounding out of all of them.
Bro just sounds annoyed
like I think I'd rather kiss Nurgle than level this class again
Money probably
Not to mention volley Fire is also more than just a stat buff. It’s also intel that can be easily given to your entire team if you take the talents to do so.
I’m so close. I’m at 27.
He mentions Saint Messilina frequently
people who struggle with the class either never played the tutorial or forgot dodging was an option
psyker was worse for me
You know how churches are 
I found psyker hard from lvl1-10 but after that it was the easiest experience of my life
this is just buttcheeks from 1-20
Tbh, big fan of every Scum personality
I'm doing aurics now and hive scum are uncommon
does "Long Lasting" apply with the stim crate?
Haven’t heard many interactions yet but I’ve been enjoying hearing my Loose Cannon interact with them lmao
Btw there’s a specific voice line I heard for the hive scum that I can’t figure out how to trigger it or what ability it’s attached to “WERE GONNA HAVE SUCH FUN” I heard it once and the delivery of that one line just hits so hard
Oddly enough I haven't seen many people pick bounty hunter, most people I've run into are outlaws and anarchists
again darktide hits it out of the park with character personalities all being entertaining
Female anarchist on deperado I think
Male Anarchist Rampage
If y'all want to laugh, pick anarchist and fail the cipher ident thingy
Guy says the funniest shit
Do I need to increase my dodge count on my weapons?
dude you couldn't PAY me to level this class again
I'm so deadass
LOL
Thanks for letting me know
Same here, but when I heard that male outlaw voice I knew I had to pick that one. Love the guy’s work as Malakai Makaison in TW3
ok fuck this im going to the mortis trial mines
Oof
I wanna come across Cadian vets man
Based reference
I just wanna hear the line out in the open so much
Its extreme shit talk
Even against Outlaw
I haven't heard outlaw talk to a Cadian
I've hear like a few lines between anarchist and professional
Just do the twins damnation suicide rush and it's at 30 in a little over an hour
Loose cannon is just the best
Maul and Anarchist
suicide rush? you mean literally just fail the mission on purpose?
No arguement
Need help?
This might be a dumb question. But does a dot kill from a melee weapon count as a melee kill?
it's really funny
gguuuuuuuhhh 
Yes. Bell skip teleports you to end of mission, and you just die to boss. Full level xp with no effort
Theres a reason my Veteran is born on the world where the 53rd hails from and Is an Ex-Ganger as a Loose Cannon
How does the crowbar work? I can’t properly grasp the attack chains
I'm intrigued. does this work on Heresy (that's the highest I have atm) and what's a bell skip?
He literally growls at Outlaw helping him LMAO
Praying we get some good drip in the next rotation
Ok send me your friend code and I'll boost you to 30 real fucking fast
I can't remember when I heard it
h1>l2 is single target
h2>l3 is horde clear
all the beak attacks are single target
I find outlaw charming but tbh I love merc. Feels like an honest bastard, and I like that. Best of the best, arrogant, cocky type. Very enjoyable.
i know its been out for a day, yes, but is there a better mark for the Needle Pistol?
But I think it was authoritarian or maul when they get rezzed by anarch
Bro just goes ballistic
"DO NOT TOUCH ME"

Bro I love the teasing when you rez a tithe rat
Thanks
It works on any. But we can go straight into damnation no worry.
its just the one
oh, bet. 5649912252
Crowbar dump stat?
I legit wanna see how fatalist reacts to the gangers
defence
Gimme a min to load game I'll be with you soon
Anyone else who needs help levelling is welcome
Branx MKVI and Branx MKII?
I’ll get in on that
so whats the nicknames for the classes
Outlaw honestly says shit that’s incredibly similar to what Loose Cannon says when reviving or saving an Arbites
gg (gang gang)
can i join
Yes give code
one sec
We have 4 if you all give codes
Alright
bout to leave a mission
aah apologize I just noticed theres 2 of em. I just use the one you automatically assigned when you first buy a needle pistol
I forgot how to find it lol been a month since I last played
Vet = Killer/ Ogryn = Lump / Arby = Tithe Rat
Nvm found it 3043970585
3753397034
I think I heard
Zealot = Ranter
Psyker = Twitchy
alright so, scab ragers, besides "use the crowbar" whats our play
between the gangers themselves they say Mucker
Yeah
Aim higher
I've seen a ton of arbities today
Flak heads
can somone explain the stim lab to me, i dont really get how it works. is it only a thing if you take the stimm supply talent?
Dump stat for the stub pistols?
Coulda sworn thry called each other killjoys
Anarchist calls basically everyone a killjoy
I've got a question about the needle pistol: does the Damage or Stopping Power stat affect the chem toxin DOT at all?
Gordon Freeman collab when
@low condor sent it
Stim lab is for everyone, if you put any points into it then it replaces your ability to pickup stims with a cooldown stim of your design. The more points you put into it the longer the cooldown
Oh lol
alr so 5649912252, 3043970585 and 3753397034
Trying to figure out what the dump stat should be.
bet
Cool
Mobility
what is the dump for the autopistols? collateral?
Yeah I thought as much, but I want to con firm whjether or not the damaging stats affect the chem troxin.
mods updated finally 
Yes.
im loving the bone saw so much more then i thought i would
Another believer
🤝
and for the Sub stubbers? (i mean the pistols)
Oh shit wait needler is damage dump
Yeah the bone saw seems fun, but I'm boosting crowbar mastery rn
Shock and Awe feels SOOO good
A second damage dump weapon has hit the Darktide
Flamer/inferno
All its damage is DoT
Also dump Collateral.
Just go look at what damage actually affects
what are the best modifiers for adrenaline frenzy? i’m running rampage
So Mobility is the dump stat?
The damage stat only changes direct damage
gameslantern says that the only difference is in their special actions - MKVI is "explosive strain" and MKII is "area dispersal strain"
I am still feeling either a stability or mobility then damage dump
In that order
All 3 are fine to dump
What are you replying to exactly?
I just use the explosive one
Needler
I just dumped mobility personally.
It's not like I'm diving between hordes with it.
Usually playing backline support
Whaty was the first one?
Flamer
Yes
Yes the zealot flamer dumps damage
What perks and blessings are yall running on autos?
The real question is, which mark is the better needler.
Damage on flamer only affects the direct damage of yhe fire
yeah, flamer cares more for its dot than the direct damage
Which is 23 points with 80% damage
And the tiny increase of mobility helps in how you use it
And 21 with 60%
...
i run flak elites/maniac and something like
i need to file off the ironsights, aiming are for losers
powderburn or run n gun (idk if run n gun is even useful since you can already sprint)
I've been doing blaze away+run and gun and unyielding+cara but tbh cara cannot be the correct choice it feels
I put my gun blessings based on vibes 
@woeful hill What have you been running on your needler?
I like it for the spread tbh, and it's more damage
Speed loader for even more reload speed
I have run and gun and sticky hands
Bugged with em rn ive been told
How so 
I haven't used them, only tactical axe and combat shotgun so far
I was told reload speed doesn't work on the auto stubs like, at all
Ainz when they see cool new weapons
5/6 classes that's the only weapons I use
My i can't play this thing until thursday
Definitely does from my few games I tried with it
Hell
I've yet to actually use any of the arby weapons
But I haven't labbed so perhaps
Crowbar seems a bit mid
Tbh you're not missing much imo
I could defo be wrong tbh
They don't seem fun for me
I am so in to this class, even if I had a lot of growing pains leveling as desperado. Chem build is nuts.
The coolest part of any arby weapon imo is the flashbang shield has
The one good arby weapon is one handed shock mace
(theyre too brainrotted from all the 34)
I wanna see just how far someone can build up chemist.
Its the mental equivalent of using DS for me
just over 800k to get a clean 60% mobility dump on the autopistols tonight!! i love gambling!!!!! woooo!!!!
Also
Are you below level 30
Im running a fuckin mess of a build rn but it's very fun and it's working for me
I thought it would be worse
I mean without much work and not even level 30 I'm spamming the deployable every few seconds.
you're joking
Godrolls are harder the lower level you are
I'm at this weird crossroads with my build atm.
i mightve seen that skitarrifemboy before, which server you in?
Why not pick the talent that brings crate back when stimm recovers
in that case, only 800k to godroll auto pistols at lvl 3, tonight!! 
what gang did you all pick
fun fact for those who enjoy the big boom bringer, it will not explode upon hitting an unarmored head
Show
cartel
Water Cartel
WC
cartel the drippiest
loyal to the Water Cartel 
Argus in the wrong territory rn
Show
clowns 🤡
trains : )
The Show
what set you from homie? what colors you on?
I'm not alone
i chose the saints row gang ifykyk
I imagine WC cause purple
Default randoml;y generated carteler had the bright green hair and white facepaint, was tempted to go full jonkler
left tree vs right tree for desperado build? I feel like the downtime is really long even with a CD stim
Never go full jonkler
same
Ganger drip is 10/10 tbh
I thought i was the only person that pick the train guys 🥀 🥀 🥀
I'm just hoping we don't get the arby treatment
the deluxe cosmetics suck
And that one shop outfit is our only one.
I severely doubt it
1 new drip per year...
Arbite gets bent cause they want recent art iirc
ok last December we got a steel legion drop
These chain downs are fuckin awful
There is so much necromunda in store
Scum has the entirety of munda to pull from
maybe this year's December....
We're gonna be getting munda cosmetics for the next 3 years at the rate FS adds new ones tbh
What perks do you guys recommend for stubs?
are mods working for yall?
run n' gun + sustained fire
the first for accurate hipfire, the latter because they're semi-auto weapons with a slow fire rate.
I crashed on startup with my mods
They're the opposite of the dual bullet hoses.
Does the chem crate explosion do friendly fire or not?
same i’m just going to wait
Perks like +20% damage (flak armored)
no lol
what the autopistols want as perks?
not even the rocket launcher at your feet does friendly fire
But I will definitely use those two blessings
I'll be on tomorrow, it's late rn and it's ice cold
I disagree. I've seen the Necromunda artwork, we're getting scammed.
I go with extra critical chance and reload speed
buit that's me
bet
Will give it a run
That's something I wanted to ask aswell.
I wouldn't recommend anything other than armor types
Do crit blessing affect the needler?
Thats fine, you're allowed to.
Does the hivescum have access to autogun? I dont have anything to check atm
Mhm
The infantry one?
all of the autoguns, yes
not all but some
Fire thanks
Lmfao
i need a refund 
Get off the crutches man
lmfao fr
What are good blessings on the shivs?
wouldn't you like to know
uncanny and riposte/precog
noife
or riposte + flesh tearer iof you have that one toxin on crits feat
Eyy thanks!
HivesCum is pretty fun actually. Still can't decide on a personality though but its either bounty hunter or anarchist
I would! Never used knives. Just shovers for the most part but I full mastered my shiv
I love the guy I can't understand
The one with the super thick accent
Bounty Hunter is kinda like the professional vet but more bloodthirsty and greedy, anarchist is just fun
play outlaw with me
Anarchist is basically Junkrat from OW, except he can say thjings like kill and murder because 40K is R rated.
theyre just genuinely sees criminality the best way to fight for a better tertium/tomorrow and is pretty agreeable with everyone
I like anarchist's go-getter jolly attitude but his voice lines just aren't as badass
Zealots always want to burn everything.
Burn the heretic
Blood for the emperor or somesuch
There is something wrong with the game since the patch, specials are annoucning them selves right when it's too late, I got sniped by a sniper without seeing a snipers red line until he shot, getting shot by gunners through walls, a ogyrn gunner can shoot people without even facing them, so backstabbing is impossible, etc
almost got all of the cosmetics let’s go
bruh you can spec into the blitz, aura and ability nodes, spec past them and then refund the points for each, normally progressing through the rest of the lower skill tree. saving 3 points pog
Kek
ts is so funny
is it just headtaker/wrath in heavy sword?
Free points
yes
Please rate 5* on TripAdvisor
Blitzless build real
oh sry its headtaker and deathblow
Headtaker Deathblow
Does hotshot do anything on needle pistol?
Deathblow is just bromentum under a different name
I want to do this is bad but I know it's just going to be another reset when they fix it
you still get what you specced into, so you effectively get 3 extra free points
i had a pox burster jump through one of those vaulting arches today for the first time. im pretty sure they used to have to wall around them?
this game is amazing
omg my mods worked
I've had pox bursters be silent some times, until close lol
Also i didn't even though they could jump
health bars and scoreboard??
Hey glaive you know what perks people slap on a can opener opportunist crowbar
My anti flak maniac weapon will be dual stub pistols
They already know about it, it's a visual thing only, the talents reset back to before you removed them, when you exit the menu
power DI works with the temp fix.
thx
have they updated them on enxus mods?
Oooh.
Im a good noodle I never would have known
First, you should run superiority over opportunist
Second, flak cara
gotcha thanks
Opportunist isn't needed
i dont have scoreboard but it works
You're already running can opener which is a much easier condition and it has good adms already
Health bars work
i use superiority and bash
room for 1 more in twins xp farm drop friend code
Gonna try a melee build but i can't seem to find a melee weapon i like
yeah planning to run a crowbar ruffian as my main
thanks for the help
is mk3 for needle pistol better? and what does the special do when it’s on a blue light
CROWBAR
Anarchist
anarchist
Either
FS why you gotta reset my build talents
Female is funnier

Running the bar rn but what about armored enemies?
secondary attack
Still crowbar
special button
Switches the weapon into single target focus
crowbar is busted
And with can opener
Also can't find a gun i like, haven't touched the needle pistol but i wanna use dual weapons
Not as bad as bonesaw
it’s the scums dueling sword 
you are literally gonna RIP someone's armor apart
Because 2 guns is simply cooler
saw chocob using the normal attack with the bar vs carapace when in hoards
looks like the alt is just too slow for the most part, so they just used the heavy attacks to cleave the mobs and carapace while letting chems dot do the damage
i mean in a good way
how am i supposed to go back to Zealot one day after i've experienced these crackhead super dodges
better tknives..
You don't
Zealot is great but i'm liking hive scum rocket launcher
I shit you not, I just got three pox pursters on me, one exploded on me, another clearly just spawned and immeidtately exploded on me too, since I heard nothing, then another came out of the fucking wood works, while someone was reviving me, even though there was nowhere to hide, and he made no noise either
Shoulda did your daily rites before going on the mission
I pushed the firtst one too and he didn't even explode
wolfer thinks he's slick until I pull out the anti tank suprise
what does the special blue light do for needle pistol
Never give the psychotic crackhead a rocket launcher
I was surprised by its damage output frankly, i like that its super high
less damage but they explode
good for chaff
Activates the unique strains for the poison
like one of the marks makes the poison explosive when the poison kill someone it explodes dealing a little bit of damage and stagger
The other mark when the target dies it explodes but instead of the former the chem toxin spreads to other nearby targets caught in the blast
I must ask why Fatshark made the gold torso cosmetic PURPLE
Because fuck you that's why
I love the boom-bringer
I'M A TREAD LIGHTLY! NOT A WATERBOY!!
Disposable rocket launchers are fucking cool
It's pretty fun
But I'm getting the hang of blinder
We got the LAW at home
Blinder is the perfect anti bulwark
i used bone saw all day, i love it so much. stimmed and rampaged through so many unwinable situations. i wish bone saws were real.
One of the reasons why I use it, that and it stops ragers real easy
Friend named HEAT
I love the fact that it doesn't require you to pull it out, it just throws back a grenade immediately
Or I guessed just hive explosive in this case
Yeah it's like "Hey Shitass"
i will say its a shame none of the hive helmet cosmetics are good. they all cover too much hair or face. glad i have one of the head augments from a few weeks ago.
Eat this delayed projectile
And then you can Regen them just by killing things(though dot kills don't do anything)
Is it 50 kills to refill one?
what blessings do shivs want
"oops you fired that shit point-blank, no boom for you."
0 big booms
: (
Costco guys "We bring the Boom" for a montage of this fuckass launcher...
Whoever makes this credit me for coming up with this btw, ya'll owe me some royalties or something
So three guys die to the same burst of pox flame
What is the difference between the 2 marks in the needle pistols?
does kills at close range for the black out nade include melle or purely ranged?
"Ello Ello! Stimmy DoubleFisty 'ere! Where should I start? Get me shooties and shanks stuck in some shiesty blokes? Why not? Show me where they at!"
Loving playing as Scummer
@deep roost
thanks
but, i mean, they might also make different sounds or something
Yes.
Yes.
I tried both Klay and Hypex and it didn't really seem to be THAT noticable on cooldown
God after all this time I'm still dogshit at fighting dreg ragers
what's the consensus on left/right tree VS chem dependency for desperado&ruffian builds? I'm seeing most playtesters run chem dependency instead of the "intended" keystone
Feels like the mix and match on the tree sure goes brrrr more
Rather than sticking to one side of the tree
Is it just me or does the new mission seem a lot harder than the rest
Requires getting alot of space from them and using ranged, specials and blitzes
small area, lots of enemies from all directions, its just cramped is all
Plus not being used to it.
purgatus psyker eats good
I believe that's intended based upon the density of trench warfare and because it is a shorter mission
which gang did you join i think about treat lighties or iron raiders
I like green so I'm stuck in the stage
i like trains
For some reason when I joined "The Show" it still gave me Tread Lightlies armor at the start which was very odd

It gives you all of them
Are y'all running 3 toughness curios?
im doing 3 stamina
lives in rigged trains
Yes 3 Toughness with Combat Regeneration, toughness and max health, trust me it helps make glass cannon Scummer stay alive
got to lv 16 after playing a lot of floor-kissing simulator today

last mission ended with a total of 13 deaths on our team, though we made it
lmao
I haven't used gunner resist in a long time, but after leveling today I'm considering it.
imo gunner resist is mandatory on this class it's so painful
the way toughness just evaporates if even a single gunner gets a bead on you
ts feels like havoc

I need to remember to do that when I get off the combat Regeneration dependency
I was full health, met a wall of reapers, then I was no health
these gunners are atrocious man
I just want to get to level 30
but I'm too busy getting wiped (as well as my team) by reapers and gunners
I'm sure if I completed all the missions I've ran today I'd prob be level 30 by now.
the other classes are sturdier with more thoughness generation
yeah
i think scum is glascannon and that comes from a psyker main
psyker is barely even a glass cannon if played right
before rework was uff
I will say desperado is so good cool that using the melee one feels like a detriment. Immunity to ranged is just great
oh yeah definitely
Playing scum reminds me of playing melee psyker for the first time. Before the buffs
"thinks" Scum is a glasscannon

didn't play yet
highly agressive but little dr
busy getting swiss cheesed rn
once I get all my curios slots I am investing into all of them having 20% gunner resistance
i have not tested yet, but vrak iag probably just better than autopistols?
I finally got a game earlier with 1 vet with shout. It made so much of a difference
is the stimm actually any good at low levels?
is it actually any good at high levels either?
I'm using it right after ability wears off to bring it back up sooner
I'm trying to make it actually good for combat
some melee swing speed and toughness regen/less damage
actually I really just added some of everything
I should remove some of that stuff for cooldown
Not worth IMO
using it for ability cooldown regen for my desperado build
Cooldown too high
also question
how the HELL do you get 3000% melee speed with HALF of the stimm?????!??!?!?!?!?!?'
would it be more worth it to use the uzis rather than the pistols for desperado? especially since you are shooting a shit ton as well
The vibes
I've been using cdr and strength stimm. Long cool down but makes a solid difference
Not gonna like these cartels look like its askign what chaos god I serve
the Tread Lightlies do have some Iron Warrior vibes NGL
^
The day one fit, officially hit 30, I can sleep now.
scum is so squishy it almost feels bugged i swear even psyker doesn't explode as quickly if something taps you
tbf, Iron Warriors are kinda atheist, in that they see Chaos as a tool to be used, or at least their Codex says they believe that
All the previous classes have ways to get to get toughness back, but Scum us built to avoid taking the damage in the first place it seems
Anyone else throw out their entire Blackout grenade reserve when you press G once?
brother im not fucking complaining about it im just saying my 2 cents lay off with that shit
he has a lot of abilities designed to avoid damage, thats their whole thing, you just need to get adjusted to the playstyle is all
its a big difference if you played Arbi or Ogryn, as I
🙏
So, go in, do damage and if things get hectic back up
still trying to doornail the playstyle
This bone saw looks cool
Dual 1911s go crazy
Whats the purple coating do though
Spin that thing, blast a gunner's head smoove off
Brittleness
So its for armored enemies?
Yes
Is the saw any good or do we gotta wait for buffs on this one
i wonder if it's worth it tho
Its probably the best
The crowbar is neat but i'm getting bored of it
the lack of regen really fucking sucks when there is shooters and stuff, getting hit staggered so often you just get nuked and playing around an ability with a 45s cooldown to get around that is 💀
the leveling of HS has definitely not been a fantastic experience
I named my hive scum spinemanglr
Its awful, worse than Psyker leveling but once you get to 30 its fun af
I bought hive scum delux and I the tattoo sets are locked. Is it bugged atm?
anyone wondering how the chemical dependency penances are supposed to work
And its a running joke between my friends thst his hive name is "spinemanglr" but his real name? Loslow
DrGordonFreeChem
Try restarting your game, if it doesnt work put in a ticket to FS
did that to me till I actually made the character.
if that don't work do what arrow said
im making them now and like 5 tattoos are locked saying I need to upgrade
I dont think I had the issue, weird
i call my hivescum loki
full body tattoo also overrites facial and normal body tattoos
By the way, Guarentee Weapon Swap is bugged because Blackout doesn´t "swap" to the grenades, so if you press G once it throws out all of your grenades
psyker has a lot of DR now, so yes scum is much squishier
What blessings should I atick onto my needle gun
Scum all about cracks but no resistance smh
"Hobomancer" 
Dodge!
Scum is very squishy
i hope the testers have already told fatshark that the sneedler has dumb blessing choices
alr got everything mastered and hivescum to 30, all that I have to do now is dedicate an hour or two tomorrow to farming plasteel and diamantine on auric with my arbites and put all that into my hivescum's gear
I got perfect rolls and everything
Such a far cry from the tankiness i'm used to with melee zealot
It is squishy as all hell at first, max level scum is a whole other ballpark with really good curios, I feel like unstoppable force
yeah this is the fun way to play but it definitely relies on you using your tools correctly instead of passively being able to mess up here and there
What does strength do
My ass popping desperado
Damage and cleave i think
Honestly it just hilarious see how much damn distance you can get from it
There a quick reference to what the difference in appearance are for these? Should i even care?
I love shooting enemies then pissing off to let them die
Including dodge slides
Ok thanks
What color do you like more
besides cosmetics i think?
thats about it
oh its just color? Ty
heheh yeah i was playing a rampage build with shivs and fucking ZOOMING with every dodge to the point that I had to readjust my aim because I was overshooting my targets

very fun though
when you pop rampage and have frenzy going at the same time and you just turn into a whirlwind of blades
Yeah hardly any of the needler blessings are good. They're kind of bad or generic. The only good ones seem to be desperado and run and gun. I think they should of gone with some more unique blessings or crazy blessings, like one that effectively turns it into a needle shotgun with a duckbill for example.
The chem build has failed me
man this class is so much fun. I've felt myself get way better at the game, and I get rewarded tenfold for good plays
Yeah overall using the chem dispenser is...painful
Is it not good or what
no mans land on mid level scum is hell
I know it's anime and not meant to be realistic, but bruh, just aim at his feet, much harder to block low. 
it really is
Cuz i was thinking of running chem dependency
Idk if I’m just bad but it feels like it’s bad
To me it seems like desperado is the only good one
Cus thats the only one anybody is using
Rampage can get pretty good too
Also it wasn’t healing my corruption
Odd it does for me
Rampage enables stupid silly damage
I prefer rampage the most out of the abilities
The recovery period is brutal for me
just like any refractory period 
Stimm supply seems good on paper
I just wanna be a drugged up gladiator with a rocket launcher
Give everyone your stimm lab effects and purge corruption but it just doesn’t feel like it actually does anything
I think an opportunity was lost when they didn't give the Hive Scum some sort of lunge mine/exploding spear so we could re-enact the Mad Max scene.
So far zealot is the only class i can have fun using a melee build with so i'm hoping scum scratches the itch
imagine scum adds some addictive chemical in the stimm supply and all other rejects/arb gained chemical dependence, free customers right there, ever so entreprenual scum
as a marty zealot enjoyer scum is the ninja melee while zealot is like a "knight"
in relative tankiness/damage
It's definitely high octane, but man it's a glass cannon (minus the cannon part until higher leveled)
I like to think of my zealot as a holy paladin while the scum is just a fent addict
yeah both will mulch
just one mulches while standing there
the other has to weave more than usual
Chem dependency looks great and fun to use but i hope i'm not killing the melee build by taking it
It goes great with melee.
Probably gonna try all abilities and keystones eventually but i wanna be an addict
more of what you lean for with a particular melee weap
I like adrenaline with it most
Adren looks crazy
also what's so strong about dependency??? I see ppl running it with rampage and I'm like why??? it's a 20s cd
I'm biased from having close to 400 hours on this class already
how
Wym
beta perhaps?
Dependency doesn't have a cd
dependency is just consistent stat
rampage does, it's 20 seconds
right but you'd think the smarter choice with rampage would be to run adrenaline
30

Dependency gives crit
Yeah
The Desperado Experience
huh I see
this is me with shivs on rampage/chem dep
Also investing into adren is a big commitment because of all the cool keystone mods
For desperado I’m thinking some good weapon traits to use are terrifying barrage and powderburn, or speed load and run and gun
Second one
Two people left alive, im out of toughness, i run to hit something to get toughness back, team mate shoots it from 10 metres away, i get shot in the back and die lol
certified atoma classic
so with saw, which one would be better? adrenaline or dependency
Unfortunately with chem dependency i'll have to go light on my custom chem viscosity
but hyper violence along with bonus tox stacks on crit
means it leapfrogs so much boss damage
Who meeds melee for boss damage when rocket laumcher
Rocket laumcher
I've been running Desperado with Dual Autos, Sticky Hands and Run n Gun and it's genuinely monstrous
and there ain't enough rockets
Are the dual autos that good?
Late game
Ive been using the same set up+blaze away at 30 in auric and they fuck
I've heard Braced Autogun is also fun for spray and pray (the playstyle not the talent)

Wishlist the Class here:
chem is a safety net while adrenaline can peak more
it's mostly pref
Bro they fuck so hard
How does chemical dependancy work? I just did a mission with full stacks the entire time (after getting to max stacks) and i'm still at 0
the penance
ah okay
The penance only tracks progress when the stacks run out
I assume they aren't good against armor so you have to use your melee for carapace and such
ticked fine for me earlier but I imagine there's something jank as per every release
NOOOOOOOOO
lol
thanks Hank 🙂
Thinking i'm gonna give the saw a try and see if it can work as my main on a melee build
If not the crowbar it is
so chem has a better average while adrenaline has a better peak performance?
At this point almost all stim penances are bugged lol
Yeah
chem is safer from TDR, gives you Crit and is cozy to path if you've already invested in some tox
adrenaline is a lil spikier but has a consistent toughness gen, easier to path if you like a lot of the bottom middle already
maybe I'll do chem then
yea
shiv goes hard with either
heavy sword might lean to adrenaline more
saw loves both but I prefer it with crit from chem for tox stacking
I'm doing saw and dual pistols so I'm not sure
yeah LMAO
HOLYSHIT THEY ARE TREADING DANGEROUS WATER

So the duel auto pistols, the alt fire on it, is that not the wussiest pistol whip you've ever seen? xD
what's so strong about hyper violence
Costs no stamina
I just mean the animation xD
It looks like you barely tap the people
Thing's held together by duct tape and a dream, can't just smash people's heads in
I still can't help but chuckle at the animation xD it's so dainty
what's overkill?
i have not tested yet, but vrak iag probably just better than autopistols?
Perks for the bone saw
People are so deadass in this game
Beautiful
They are likely typing on the forums as we speak screaming, malding and balding about barrels been broken and unfair
so whats the 411 on needle gun modes. What's the advantage of boom-mode?
I am starting to hate the mainstream audience 
Kaboom
does the needle gun do anything different on crit? i cant tell if its applying more dot on crit in the psykhanium
Classic gloriana
ok im gonna take a break I really really am not having fun with the heresy playerbase
Incompetence or toxicity?
dont you pregnant man react me
both
Understandable
fuck good meme
is hyper-violence overkill, underkill, or both? e.g. if i kill a 500 max hp poxwalker with a 2k hit, is the hyperviolence 1500? if i kill a 6k max hp crusher with a 2k hit, is the hyperviolence 4k?
it's 25% of your overkill.

500hp poxwalker with 2k hit = 1500 overkill, 25% of that = 375 bonus damage for 1s
oh and after reading it, it looks like it's not max hp
i swear this channel is zealot chat 2.0
so if the poxwalker had been lowered to 1 hp and i hit it with the same 2k hit, it would be 1999 overkill?
all the players came here of course its going to be
What kinda blessings should I put on my needle gun?
they've escaped containment
The class is hot crackheads with abs what did you expect
hmmm I am not sure
What we looking at curio wise for this class?
all 3 slots filled
atp I have to imagine that they have their dodge key unbound
Toughness toughness health

Most likely toughness.
That explains my issue
Get ur slots filled
So like scum
fill my slots with your melk 😩
KILL HANK
That's just everyone getting skill issued by the new class being glass cannon
But like
What did i just walk in on?
its just shade kerillian
didn't play enough vt to know what that means
I know and I hate it
wouldn't you like to know
no. i dont think i do
I just wanna complete my goddamn missions so I can get exp
I'm just going classic Desperado with the dual stubbers, and this shit is gnarly. Ammo concerns are nearly nonexistant in some missions.
@neat delta when did you last sleep? Or eat? Or drink water?
Pain.
WHAT
Why so curious lol
Hank did not stutter
@tulip magnet no idea why that replied to you
his request was clear
lol
Hank zeg dat nooit meer alsjeblieft
eyes your mastered weapons
Ah, I used a mod to help me spam level the weapons but now I'm out of ordo dockets
I got the materials, but no money.
🫃
what? they're curio slots, melk sells them. what's not to get
???????????
Yeah it's nice
anyone know what the bad stat is on the shivs
I did it manually before I installed the mod lol
yea store sacrifice or whatever its called
The mod is called quick leveling, and no its not cheating. it buys grays, makes em green, then sacrifices them.
mobility
When in doubt, dump mobility
Are any of you finding issues with hitting chaos spawn with the dual shivs?
I NEED EVERYTHING 20
Works for most weapons
I NEEEEEED IT
Running a wound curio while leveling and it feels like I'm being punched in the face irl every time a reaper looks at me
I'm having trouble hitting bulwarks with dualies
mk1 shiv h2 attack has a very short and narrow hitbox
☝️
EVERYTHING, EXCEPT FOR BONESAW AND DUEL STUB PISTOLS
is there a way to check which mods cause crashing/
you need to really jam that shit in their eyesocket to hit enemies with it
Apparently damage dump on needle pistol?
i got hit by a bulwark while behind him, and i checked, i wast lagging.
probably a tradeoff for increased dmg or something, knowing how fatshark balances weapons
how it is big difference, every class is meant to dodge 90% of the time
but that's difficult to do against chaos spawn and its big knockback box
who the fuck even actually uses block
do you first target on bonesaw?
I have a toughness and HP and if I dont have a resource up and am in a mildly inconvenient spot I just get hit staggered by shooters
pain and suffering
Anti Backshot
Cause they can tank a lot more hits than Scum
As a vehement arbitrator enjoyer, this class is the polar opposite in most respects, the dodge requirement is definitely cranked up
His name - Harrier Du Bois
so your window for mistakes is smaller
its not really about block, but its about having to dodge every little thing instead of bullying enemies into submission with your superior stagger and cleave on arby/ogryn
Arby can just hit the castigator stance win button and walk everything down without concern
Or just billy club them to death as hank said indeed
really not sure what to pair with the shivs
Electrochemistry max Harry
Block gives you a breathing room and time for your dodges to restore.
or BTL every 20 seconds and turn the room off with shock mines
does anyone know if this perk clears corrupted wounds btw? (im assuming not but still)
no
damn
yeah those classes just have way more passive and active control, which then necessitates less dodging
but its so fucking fun
scum is constantly dancing
was one of my playthroughs, yes
Oh 100% I fucking love it LMAO
They're different kinds of fun
that would be push, not block
for everyone here who played handmaiden or shade in VT2, we are eating today.
it is really fun to stack dodge speed/distance stuff and go flying up stairs, down stairs, off ledges and going like 20m

getting air from dodging up stairs is so dumb
What do you mean no, that's the same corruption?
Arby lets me feel like a terminator whereas Hivescum lets me put on some King Von in the background and have mindless fun for 30 minutes with the dualies
also, whats a dodge angle exactly
Was also wondering this honestly
Ah, block is good for stagger, esp against maulers, crushers and whos it
angle you can be running at to count as dodging to ranged stuff shooting at you
It's an angle on which you need to run sideways to enemies shooting at ya to ignore their gunfire
Oh that sounds fire
imagine it as like 45 degrees to begin with
sounds
Strange but thank you
its great, and easy to abuse
not sure what it actually is off the top of my head
It's a very nice talent
but yeah, good talent
I got it for the sprint slide but yeah
20 degrees
Or such if I recall.
i think it is only strange if you never knew that you can dodge gunfire by sprinting
which is also not obviious thing
ay
I'm currently wondering what blessings I wanna slap on the dualies though
need that shit pinned holy
saving this and thank you
Run n gun is great fun albeit the practicality is debatable
Surprised they toned down hivescum so much before release
it was even stronger?
wot
if anything it was weaker, all the toughness generating nodes got doubled as far as I heard
anyone else getting numeric UI error ?
major update will do that
did they add another wound health on below heresy?
yeah, disable it and wait for mod update
ight
Also ngl the dual stubber reload / quick melee being vaguely similar to the Malorian from cyberpunk has kept me in love with them
